Diego Cavalieri Happy to Be Back in England Despite Understudy Role at Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Diego Cavalieri has said that he is happy to be back in England, but is realistic about his chances of playing for the Eagles before the end of the season.

The Brazilian was released by Fluminense last year, having made over 200 appearances for the Rio de Janeiro club in seven years there.

He joined Palace on March 2nd and has been on the bench for their last three league games as back-up to Wayne Hennessey, with Julian Speroni still sidelined due to a knee injury. He admits that adapting to the climate has been a challenge.
